The Outlaws: Henry Wagons remembers Kris Kristofferson, and Tami Neilson plays Willie Nelson

Henry Wagons remembers Outlaw Country figurehead Kris Kristofferson, who has died at the age of 88. From Nashville to Hollywood, from Oxford University to the US Army, he had a life almost as unique as his voice.

That leaves Willie Nelson the last of the Highwaymen, the original Outlaw supergroup, and his music is the subject of New Zealand-based Canadian songwriter Tami Neilson’s new album Neilson Sings Nelson. From a childhood singing in the travelling Neilson Family Band to a career that’s put her on stages with greats like Johnny Cash, Tanya Tucker and Willie Nelson, Tami returns to The Music Show after a US tour performing at venues like Dollywood and the Grand Ole Opry to talk about the legacy of country music in the US, as well as Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson.
